You might have a hell of a time prosecuting him!  Whatever the laws in 
YOUR jurisdiction, HE is NOT in your jurisdiction.  Prosecution, if any, 
would have to be under the laws of Brazil.

Even if he were in your jurisdiction, you would probably be laughed out 
of court if you brought an action against him for stealing two
